How can I make floating options windows behave like probe windows in LV 5.0?

Hello all,
I'm trying to use subVI's as small floating windows that appear and disappear on command. These windows provide access to controls that trigger functions in the calling VI.
I've already achieved this by calling the subVI's (which are set to be front most) continuously in the main loop when I want to see their front panels and then closing them when I don't want to see them using the close function in victl.llb.
This works, but there are some problems. The title bars of the floating front panels flash continuously when there is more than one panel open and if two panels overlap then the overlapping regions flash. Also, when I operate controls on the calling V
I (window maximized), the floating panels disapear. I also tried using invoke and property nodes with the same results.
I realize that this is because only one panel can be in front at any one time, so while calling them in a loop keeps them visible it also makes them flash and disappear behind the calling VI when I click on it.
Is there any solution to this? Is this addressed in LV 6i?
What I really need is for those floating windows to act like probe indicators. Is this possible?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
thank you,
Louis

There's an utility called LVWUTIL32 at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/ebf11dd1f0feaef3862566790072a983/ that has a vi to make a window topmost, with one difference, if you execute it once, the window will be topmost even if you click in the window under it, and it will be so until you revoke this option with another VI. In my system, no flashes were detected.
Hope this helps

How can I make Safari on iOS behave like/pretend it's Safari on OSX

Try the iCab or Atomic browsers. Or contact the sysop at the site you are trying to demo.

How can I make multi partitions in my computer with Windows 7??

How can I make multi partitions in my MakBook with Windows 7??

From what I read you can't. If you used Boot Camp to partition the Macintosh hard drive so you could install Win 7 on a boot camp partition you are locked into that one partition.
If you try to RE-partition that BC partition Win 7 won't boot, and IIRC there is a possibility of OS X not booting (Not sure about that). I just went through this myself.
That's one of the big reason I have gone back to Win PCs as my main systems.
Mac's are OK but to restrictive in what you can do with the hardware, and the OS IMHO.

Hey janvaughnquero11,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
The BlackBerry 8800 smartphone has 4.2 or 4.5 software as the latest. BlackBerry 5, 6 or 7 device software is not available for that model.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

How can i make multiple oracle homes co-exsist on windows

I have a windows box on which I have just installed oracle 9i and 10g.
Whenever I connect through the sqlplus , it defaults to the first one installed which is oracle10g every attempt to connect to the second database which is 9i keeps coming with “ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified”
I know on unix I can easily set my environment, I will like to know how to get my environment set on windows for me to connect easily to the two databases.
Thank you for your time

Yes, they must be in different homes. The 'definition' of an ORACLE_HOME is the software for one product at one version/patch-level.
The easiest way to do what you want - search for all the TNSNAMES.ORA files and make them the same. They will be in each ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
If you intend to have multiple homes for a while, the smartest way (IMO) to do what you want is to study the custom installation capabilities of the 10g installer and install just a listener in a new ORACLE_HOME. Then add a TNS_ADMIN variable to point to the central LISTENER and TNSNAMES.ORA and keep just that one TNSNAMES.ORA file up to date.
Takes a lot more effort up front but is easiest administrative effort in the long run. There is a lot of information in the Oracle Network User's Guide and Reference at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage

How can I make firefox switch to the first open window as soon as I click on it on the taskbar.

I'm running Windows 7 and when I click on Firefox on my taskbar and I have more then one window open, Firefox forces me to choose which window I want to go to. I would like it to always assume I want to go to the first window. How can I change this?

Go to Tabs in Options and uncheck ''Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar.''

How can I make app use all available space in window?

Hi,
I'm trying to embed my flash app in a browser window and have
it use all available space. I've found plenty of tutorials online
that tell me how to make it take up the whole window, and they
work, but that isn't what I want. I have other content on the page
(a bar of links across the top). I thus want the flash app to take
up the full width and almost all the hight, leaving enough vertical
space for the link bar at the top. Right now, I have it set to 100%
for both height and width in the object tag, and it displays the
link bar, but the bottom of the flash gets chopped off (an amount
exactly equal to the height of the link bar). It seems that setting
height=100% means 100% of the full window height, not the unused
height. Is there any way to make it do what I want?

I believe the 100% will be relative to the parent container
of the Object/Embed tag.
If the Flex app is in say, a DIV that is correctly sized,
then 100% will fill the DIV. So I think you will need to get your
div sizing dynamically. A CSS expression maybe?

How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer. I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows. Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother? I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.
Do you get any error messages?

Searches. How can I make it confine itself to the active window only?

I'll have a window open, then I open a second window, for an unrelated Google search, then I clicked one of the links from the search and go to a site. Frequently I'll open a third window for yet another search then click on a link to a site. In any case whatever I looked up last is appears in all my open windows, not just the one I was working in. It happens most frequently when I'm looking up images, but it does also happen on regular searches. Unfortunately, it's intermittent. Even when I close all windows then repeat the steps right after it's happened, it doesn't happen a second time. There doesn't seem to be any one site that causes it.

Hi. It sounds frustrating!
I have a practical suggestion plus some general musings and brainstorming that might help you work towards a real solution.
The practical suggestion: use three different brands of browser instead of three instances of firefox. For example opera and chrome.
Now the musings. First off, I don't understand what you said, "I have the problem before I select a result." But anyway, here are some thoughts.
1. You could try unchecking "Open each selected result in a new browser window," and then use control-click instead of click when you're selecting which google results you want to look at. I think that allows you to retain the google list in the first tab.
2. Uninstall firefox again, but this time, make sure you manually remove all folders and files that firefox uses, before you reinstall.
2a. Try an older version of firefox.
3. In the config editor, there is a field that tells firefox how to search. You might want to take a close look at this value and compare it with the value in a firefox installation on another machine (that hopefully doesn't display the symptom), or with the analogous value in opera.
4. Try working in safe mode (all add-ons disabled) to see if the symptom goes away.
5. Try installing one of the add-ons that describe themselves as google enhancers.
6. Post your problem on the google support pages or on the support page of a well-supported google-enhancing firefox add-on.
7. Try a different search engine.

How can I make a Required Field give a text window if not completed?

My question is simple but I cannot find any way to do this. I need to set a field on a form I created to do 1 of 2 things:
1. Not allow you to save the Document until the required text box has information added to it
and or
2. Have a window's style prompt or text box appear and say "THIS FIELD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFOR CONTINUING"
I have been told this isn’t hard to do but I have poured many man hours into this personally and have come to the conclusion I am possibly border line retarded or just do not comprehend how to complete this task. If this needs to be done in Java Script I would need a very good walk through or at least pointed to an idiot proof tutorial that I can read and complete this task.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
PTM

thanks for the help again,
its still not working, I have the following:
insert is set to yes
update is set to NO
update if null only is set to NO
Lock record is set to NO.
I tried setting insert to No, but when the user reaches the form its says "field is protected against update."
what I want ?
when the user reaches the form, the user has to perform a Ctrl - L to populate the list of values.
After the user selects from the list of values, I want the field to be un-editable in the text field.
thanks,

I'm on iTunes 11.0.0.63 for Windows. iTunes used to display the total number of songs in my library, along with total playtime and memory footprint, at the bottom of the window. How can I make it display this information like it used to?

Hello! Thanks in advance for reading my question.
so, I updated iTunes to 11.0.0.63 on Windows, and the new layout looks nice, but iTunes no longer gives my total song count, memory footprint, and total play-time at the bottom of the window, the way it used to. I just want to know how to get that info back. Thanks so much!

Ctrl / or View > Show Status Bar should do it.
Weirdly having turned mine on the menu is not there to hide it again and the shortcut doesn't work.

How can I make a version(s) of java on windows compatible for multiple app

I have a switch application from EMC -connectrix manager which requires 1.5.0_x,
we have 1.6.0_x on our management servers. Is java backwards compatible/supporting earlier versions for applications requiring earlier versions. If so, di I have to enavble or list the versions?

Sun tries very hard to make each version of Java backward compatible with previous versions, especially the previous major release. If it works in 1.5.* it's highly likely to work in 1.6.*... so yeah, suck it and see...

I use the weather add-on, which says it can change locations every 5 minutes, but it never changes...how can I make that option work?

The weather add-on allows for entering multiple locations, and asks how often you'd like it to switch the display to show the current weather in different places. I chose "5 minutes", but it never changes.

Does the author of the add-on provide any support? If they do provide support you would be better off asking the author.
What add-on is it, there are quite a few weather add-ons.
